How do I change a switch like this....





to one like this?

A 3PDT (the footswitch) to an DPDT Toggle? or Just an 3DPT to an Toggle, if it's just an Foot switch to a toggle, you just solder them exactly the same as before, if it's the other way, what are you intending to do? As DPDT wouldn't allow for an LED without an millenium bypass circuit. If you only want true bypass then well just look at this page... it shows how to wire switches http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/ind ... &Itemid=27

Ok, that's what I thought, but I didn't want to accidentaly wire it differently, and blow up the world.

Nah there the same, it's just the footswitch switches the contacts itself the toggle is you toggling between each side of the switch by hand... if that makes sense, it's all good though.

Ok, I'm tired right now, so all that is mumbojumbo to me... Would it still work the same way, except the toggle switches from effect to bypass? Would I need a different type of toggle switch to make it work?

You need an 3PDT toggle to wire it the same as the 3DPT footswitch, an DPDT toggle as you pictured has 3 less poles, you can still wire an DPDT true bypass though yes, just no LED indicator.

Sorry for making it confusing, i'm tired too, it's 4:30 A:M

In summary
DPDT toggle - true bypass
x x
x x
x x

3PDT Toggle - true bypass with LED
x x x
x x x
x x x

Both will work just fine though, just one without an LED
